As cars become even more complex, demand for automotive semiconductors will continue to rise steadily and provide a major new long-term growth engine.
The main focus goes towards the Vehicle electrification which is Excluding full hybrids—cars that can run using just battery power—EVs .

It has also enhance the increase in connectivity. With hands-free mobile service and online navigation now standard in most new vehicles, automotive players have moved to the next wave of innovation in connected cars.

It also include telematics services that rely on human–machine interfaces, including voice assistance (such as turn-by-turn audio instructions) and eCall (a program that prompts vehicles to make automatic calls to emergency services in the event …

It is found as tops 130 mph, has a range of 250 miles on a single charge, and is capable of 0-60 mph in about four seconds. Those are impressive figures and put it in the supercar acceleration class but the biggest thing the new electric Tesla Roadsterwhich was unveiled overnight has going for it such as “Electric sports car ready to challenge Porsche. ?

The Model S, which can be carries its charger onboard, can be recharged from any 120V, 240V or 480V outlet, with the latter taking only 45 minutes. Moreover, the floor-mounted battery pack is designed to be changed out in less time than it takes to fill a gas tank, allowing for the possibility of battery-pack swap stations.

Model S costs half as much as a Roadster, and it’s a better value than much cheaper cars,” Musk said. “The ownership cost of Model S, if you were to lease and then account for the much lower cost of electricity vs. gasoline at a likely future cost of $4 per gallon, is similar to a gasoline ca…

While Globalization has made the relative distance between two regions of the world vastly smaller, the physical separation of these same regions is still a very important reality. Phone calls, emails, and videos can be transmitted in fractions of seconds to all corners of the globe, but physical objects such as a bushel of grapes, a drug or a bodily organ cannot. It takes time and coordination to efficiently move a shipment and every delay can cost money and in some cases may even cost lives. To ensure that cargo does not become damaged or compromised throughout this process, businesses in the pharmaceutical, medical and food industries are relying more and more on the cold chain technology.
Road transport refrigeration equipment are required to operate reliably in much harsher environments than stationary refrigeration equipment. Due to the wide range of operating conditions and constraints imposed by available space and weight, transport refrigeration equipment has lower efficienc…
